Privacy Policy

This policy covers how Global AVL handles both personal and non-personal information that Global AVL collects and receives. Global AVL will never release any information that can identify you as an individual. Any information collected, via means of submitted data or server logs, is safely and securely stored.

Data protection and GDPR

Global AVL is based in the EU, with infrastructure in the EU. Your data never gets transferred outside of the EU (European Economic Area). We fully comply with GDPR as below.

Global AVL is a data processor with our customers being a data controller. Global AVL will also act as a data controller but only for our direct customer’s data. When referencing signer data, Global AVL is acting as a data processor only. The end user, the person actually using Global AVL, is the data subject and has a direct relationship with the data controller.

Use of 3rd party processors

Global AVL is committed to notifying controllers when, or if, a change in 3rd party data processors are made. For example, if Global AVL was to use a different file storage provider (we currently use AWS S3), notification of this change would be made with the right to object. We maintain a strict control over the types of 3rd party processors that we use, and we keep this to an absolute minimum, where required.

Right of data erasure

When a data controller deletes something from their Global AVL account, it will be deleted on our systems, as well as on any 3rd party systems that we use.

Right of data portability

Global AVL provides tools which allow a data controller to download a full export of their account, which can be used by the data controller to fulfil their obligations to the end user (or data subject). Co-operation with Information Commissions Officer

All data stored and processed within Global AVL stays within the EU. Our main infrastructure is hosted in the Amazon AWS London and Google Cloud Frankfurt. These regions are also used by many of the top Internet companies and fully complies with all the major certifications.

We also have backup facilities in France, Germany and Spain Ireland which access is restricted to and is only used for data recovery or restoration. Backups are taken every hour for both the database and the documents themselves.

Encryption

All data stored by Global AVL is encrypted at rest and during transport. Data transport between internal systems is also encrypted. The keys required to encrypt and decrypt the data are stored is restricted to the minimum number of required people.

Data access

Access to the data that we hold on behalf of our customers is tightly controlled and regulated by an auditable system and process. We ensure that only the minimum number of people required have full access to the infrastructure and your data is never exposed to third parties. Data access is highly controlled via your account and every action is logged and recorded. Internally, members of the Global AVL team are unable to access the documents from within your account. If you do require support and assistance which relates to a specific document, you must first grant permission for us to access your documents. Until then, access is locked down and restricted.

Third party access

Your data, including names, address details and the documents itself are never exposed to third parties. Where third party contractors are used, we heavily vet and regulate them and if data is required for them perform their role, sample data is provided.

Disaster recovery

Depending on the type of disaster we have plans to handle the procedure when dealing with unexpected issues. All include the following:

Key people assigned as ‘in charge’ of coordinating the response and reaction

Effective gathering of data and logs required to determine the root cause to help diagnose the problem and work towards a solution

Feedback loops in place at every stage so learnings can be made for future events

For issues that affect the availability of the Global AVL service, we communicate them via our status page. We can regenerate our whole infrastructure, within a different AWS and GC regions within a few minutes with backups taken from our backup facilities.
